18482 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Notices 

Background and Brief Description 

As mandated in the Occupational 

Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 

91–596), the mission of NIOSH is to 

conduct research and investigations on 

work-related disease and injury and to 

disseminate information for preventing 

identified workplace hazards (Sections 

20(a)(1) and (d)). Through the 

development, organization, and 

dissemination of information, NIOSH 

promotes awareness about occupational 

hazards and their control, and improves 

the quality of American working life. 

Previous research has shown that 

trade associations and labor unions are 

primary sources of occupational safety 

and health (OSH) information. These 

organizations know the industries they 

represent and how to relate to the 

various groups within their respective 

industries. If NIOSH could learn more 

about the OSH-related activities of these 

organizations, it would be a first step in 

routinely partnering with them to 

communicate information which 

impacts worker safety and health. For 

example, through these organizations 

NIOSH could learn about unmet 

occupational safety and health 

information needs in industry and 

develop information and 

communication products to address 

these needs. Furthermore, with more 

focused information on the safety and 

health issues, NIOSH would be in a 

better position to develop impact 

communication products to serve this 

community. 

NIOSH proposes to obtain OSH 

information from trade associations and 

labor unions that represent each of the 

eight NIOSH National Occupational 

Research Agenda (NORA) industry 

sectors. These sectors are Agriculture, 

Forestry, and Fishing; Mining; 

Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale 

and Retail Trade; Transportation and 

Utilities; Public and Private Services; 

and Healthcare and Social Assistance 

Industries. The goals of this project are 

to determine (1) Sources of occupational 

safety and health (OSH) information 

currently used by the different sector 

trade associations and labor unions, (2) 

OSH information presently being 

disseminated by these different trade 

associations and labor unions to their 

members, (3) channels of 

communication within the different 

sector associations and unions used to 

disseminate OSH information, (4) needs 

for specific types of OSH information, 

especially those needs not presently 

being serviced, (5) OSH concerns of 

industry trade associations and labor 

unions, (6) awareness and perception of 

NIOSH as a source of OSH information, 

(7) use of NIOSH information services 

(Web site, printed materials, 800 

number, etc.), (8) usefulness of NIOSH 

information to address their OSH 

concerns and (9) credibility of NIOSH as 

a trusted source of occupational safety 

and health information. The ultimate 

desired outcome of this project is to 

reduce illness and injury for workers on 

jobs and tasks which pose high risks. 

Occupational Safety and Health 

information will be collected from a 

sample of trade associations and labor 

unions for each of the NORA industry 

sectors using a telephone survey. 

NIOSH requests approval from OMB for 

eighteen months for this information 

collection. 

To facilitate the survey, NIOSH will 

interact with trade association and labor 

organization staff within the industry 

sectors to ensure that (1) the survey 

questions developed appropriately 

capture the needed information, (2) the 

survey is well received and (3) that the 

data obtained is representative of the 

full range of occupations within the 

targeted industry sectors. These 

interactions will be structured to foster 

professional relationships that will 

improve NIOSH’s future communication 

and information dissemination efforts to 

these important partners. The process of 

interacting and surveying the trade 

associations and labor unions will allow 

NIOSH to develop a benchmark against 

which future efforts in partnership and 

communication can be measured. 

Working cooperatively on new solutions 

and distribution of future 

communication products will promote 

cooperation and trust between NIOSH 

and trade and labor groups for the 

future. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 376. There is no cost 

to respondents for participation in the 

survey except their time.
